About this map

Sisquoc sits at the northern edge of this Santa Barbara County landscape, where the Sisquoc River flows near the historic Sisquoc Grange. The region is defined by a series of significant canyons and geographic depressions, including Olivera Canyon, Long Canyon, and the Cañada de las Flores. To the south, the terrain rises into the Purisima Hills, framing the valley through which the San Antonio Cr flows eastward.

Industrial activity is centered at the Cat Canyon Oil Field, which occupies a large portion of the central hills between Palmer Rd and Cat Canyon Rd. This road network, including Dominion Rd and E Clark Ave, illustrates the connectivity between the petroleum resources and the agricultural plains. Further east, the map traces Tepusquet Cr as it meets the river valley, marking a transition between the cultivated flats and the steeper canyon lands.
